I saw this posted in another thread and I just wanted to take the time to address this on it's own merit.

There is not, and has not ever been a right to vote in elections at the federal level. It's not in the constitution, and was left out intentionally. So for those of you out there living under the delusion that you have a right to vote, your wrong, get over it and call Jessie Jackson Jr. because he's been trying to get this amended into the constitution for quite sometime now.

That is true, the citizens of the United States do NOT have the right to vote for the office of the President.

We probably won't hear from any of the lefties in this thread, facts and the constitution scare away libs faster than heavy metal scares away hippies

To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead. Thomas Paine

The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.
The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.
The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.[2]
The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.[3]

What's your point, frodly?

Right to votes in state elections exist. Federal elections it does not. Moreover the supreme court has upheld this precedence.

This will help you understand.

I don't even know why we vote for President, it's illegal and meaningless.....Constitutionally speaking.....

You expect people to have a point? If everyone on here needed a point to all their posts, the post count would drop by 50%!

You're such an optimist... despite all the conclusive evidence day in and out, you still believe that he may have a point.
